They’re fifth instar locusts most of the time which are 35-50mm. He also has waxworms, calciworms and occasionally roaches. I’ll try and get a photo of the inside of his mouth

It’s very strange because his urates are white, not orange but sometimes he doesn’t digest his food properly and other days he does, it really varies. His eye turrets never seem to be sunken either, and if they are it’s only slight so I get the impression that he is drinking enough.

I’ve tried feeding him every day instead of every other and it doesn’t change the state of the casque and he’s also just had a parasite test that all came back negative so I’m not sure

Yeah I can see that it is slightly swollen now, I was focusing more on the other parts of his body to see if they were ok and completely disregarded his chin area. His UV is actually 25/26 cm from the branch so I might still move it up a bit. He’s going to the vets in two days so I will see...

No a vet didn’t, it was a chameleon breeder who did it, I’m going to the vets anyway so they will probably do another one then too. I hadn’t even noticed the bump under his chin I thought that was bone. The light is a single bulb yes and it’s about 20 cm from the highest branch.

I haven’t been to the vets yet, he eats about 5 or six large locusts every other day at the moment, I’m using an Arcadia 24w desert t5 tube which is 12% and I changed it about a month ago.

Hi everyone, my male panther chameleon has a very sunken casque, I’m concerned because it never used to be like this and was like a normal healthy casque. Over a period of about 2 or 3 months it has become more sunken and I’m not sure why? I doubt it is dehydration because he has running water...
